Big Win Defies Logic
A huge lottery jackpot win in South Africa has some mathematicians and industry
analysts just shaking their heads in confusion…sure it’s possible for a single
person to hit a huge jackpot win twice in one lifetime, but it is most
definitely not probable and it defies logic that a businessman from South
African could have hit the lottery once again. The Powerball lottery was just
introduced into the South African land and soon-to-be-coming online casino
gambling industry just recently and this businessman struck a whopping SA Rand
30 million jackpot. That’s great news in and of it self, but not all that
remarkable on its own. But if you consider that this same businessman also hit a
lottery and casino jackpot seven years ago for Rand 11 million, well, that’s a
bit more of an anomaly.
This sort of double does of incredible luck is not completely unheard of in the
gambling industry – it has happened at online casinos all over the world…and the
land gambling industry too! In fact, as gambling becomes more and more prevalent
in the global market, and people are now able to gamble more often, more easily,
and from anywhere in the world, perhaps that factor changes the extreme lack of
probability that something of this nature could happen.
The life-changing sum comes to about USD 4 million at the current exchange rate
and the winner of all of this money understandably prefers to remain unnamed –
winning the lottery often seems to bring out the worst in some people, family,
friends, when money enters the equation it’s a whole new ballgame. |
